I'm on my 8th day of pre op diet which consists of 4 to 5 shakes a day 2 cups of veggies and all the crystal light and low sodium broth I want. At first it was just about the worst thing in the world but now at day 8 and 12 lbs thinner its not so bad and to be honest I'm not that hungry anymore ! My surgery is one week from today and I'm so excited and so ready !

I went to my pre-op appointment yesterday and I am even more excited to get this going. I rememeber walking out the door of the Doctors office thinking to myself this is really going to happen. A week from today I will be banded. To all of you that are getting it done today the best of luck to you on your journey....

Just a side note if any of you haven't yet check out on youtube there is lots of vlogs of different people's WLS journey. I have found lots of great information on there.

Wow - I think I can count myself lucky. My doctor's pre-op diet is note entirely liquid. It does require that you have plenty of Protein. So two Protein Shakes a day and then a small lunch and dinner. Does anyone else have a non-liquid pre-op diet?

I get to have a lean protien & veggies or a weight watchers meal for supper. With protein shakes for Breakfast and lunch along with a piece of fruit with the shakes. Not been bad at all here.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
